If anyone knows me, they know that I am a planner. Every decision that I have made in life and everything that I do, I plan. Since I can remember, I have carried around a giant planner filled with my To-do lists. I like to know what is happening tomorrow and what I need to get done. However, on May 15th when I came home from work and was not feeling so well, I had the thought to take a pregnancy test and within one minute a little stick showed TWO pink lines that I had not planned to see for at least a few more months. That's right, Marty and I are pregnant with our first little blessing and much to our surprise...it was not-so-planned. I am going to be honest, I needed a few days to really get excited and to stop freaking out. But, the look on Marty's face when I told him assured me that this was going to be our biggest blessing. This surprise has made me see that sometimes it's the things that we do not plan that will bless us the most. The things that "just happen" are the things that will change your life forever in ways you never could have expected!
We are due on January 22nd. We will not be finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl so, until January, we have named the baby Gus (The Guppy!). I just couldn't keep calling our him or her "It". This announcement comes sooner than we expected but, we have 31 weeks left to plan and believe me...The planning has already begun!
God Bless,
Amber
